TROUBLESHOOTING 
Common problems and solutions 
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problem s you may encounter while using the projector. If 
the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance. 
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is  traced to something as simple as a loose con-
nection. Check the following before proceedi ng to the problem-specific solutions. 
•  Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
•   Ensure the projector is turned on. 
•   Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
•   Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
•   Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode. 
•   Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. 
(This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.) 
Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section, tr y the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
problem more quickly. 
Try to pin point the problem and thus  avoid replacing non-defective parts.  
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go 
to the next step.  
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubles hooting: The information may be useful when call-
ing for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

HDMI Q & A 
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI 
cable? 
Recently, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that  cables would be tested as Standard or High-
Speed cables.  
․ Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or 
up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.  
․ High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 
340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highe st bandwidth currently available over an 
HDMI cable and can successfully handle 1080p signals including those at increased color 
depths and/or increased refresh rates from t he Source. High-Speed cables are also able to 
accommodate higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of 
2560 x 1600). 
 
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters? 
There are many HDMI Adopters working on HDMI  solutions that extend a cable’s effective 
distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies 
manufacture a variety of solutions that include active cables (active electronics built into 
cables that boost and extend the cable’s signal), repeaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and 
fiber solutions. 
 
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable? 
All HDMI products are required to be certified  by the manufacturer as part of the HDMI 
Compliance Test Specification. However, ther e may be instances where cables bearing the 
HDMI logo are available but  have not been properly tested. HDM I Licensing, LLC actively 
investigates these instances to ensure that  the HDMI trademark is properly used in the 
market. We recommend that consumers buy their cables from a reputable source and a 
company that is trusted.
